This was beautifully written. I love your insight to Blaine's past, because I always imagined it something like that too - disproving parents and definitely a disproving father. You captured everything so wonderfully and the way you wrote Kurt and Blaine's relationship was brilliant. I love Finn trying to do the big brother thing, too, even if I think Kurt's the older one. :)

Gorgeousness! Complete and utter gorgeousness. I'm usually not a big fan of Blaine having awful, homophobic parents, but this was just done so well! And Kurt is just a sweetie. LOVE.

Project Description
We need a way of holding a smartphone/credit card reader so that it is useable by a passenger in a back seat of a taxi. Attached is a device presently used by taxis in the US, just to give you an idea of what we need. Ours would be different in that the device is an Android smartphone.
We hope to have the holder manufactured in China and envision it to be made of hard plastic and to hold the tablet securely enough to prevent casual theft.

One night in the UK on a very very old ward the PCT told me about the gray lady who walked around the hospital when death was near or had just happened. How I laughed to hear her storys so I asked and how do these ghosts walk? Like us? No she said they sort of floated and she claimed to see ghosts all the time. About an hour later we heard the running of feet upsatairs and we knew there was a cardiac arrest. So I said smartly I expect the gray lady is walking then.
About an hour later I went out into the corridor to use the bathroom when I looked up the dimly lit stairwell I saw this vision floating down the stairs. I couldn't help myself I screamed really loudly and the vision screamed too I had frightened the life out of the PCT from the upstairs ward who was coming downstairs to borrow something.!!!!!! So much for my ghostly encounter.

Apr 17From its_ems In OB/GYN Nursing →
An OB/GYN staff nurse is a registered nurse who provides direct care to women. OB-GYN nurses may work in hospital labor and delivery and post-partum units, as well as at birthing centers and maternity or outpatient clinics. Their duties include admitting patients, taking medical histories and assisting physicians during procedures. They may administer medications, apply fetal monitoring devices or perform ultrasounds. They may also lead childbirth preparation classes or educate women individually about sexually transmitted diseases, birth control or prenatal care.
Gynecology/Obstetrics Nurses care for women from puberty to menopause. Not only do they help women during pregnancy, labor and childbirth, they can work with women who have health issues with their reproductive system.

You do not have to have nursing experience to work as an OB/GYN nurse, jobs can be few and far between for inexperienced nurses, and some facilities can require previous nursing experience. Many facilities will offer 6 - 12 months orientation for the inexperienced nurse.

The eyes of the world are watching the new experimental POT shops, which have recently opened in Colorado, selling legalized Cannabis for everyday consumption, for everyday people. Who would have thought that this would happen in our lifetime! The lines went round blocks and shops feared they would run out quickly.
It is estimated that 37 shops opened their doors 1st January 2014, and by January 6th 2014 speculation is mounting that shops will soon run out of supply.
It is estimated that over 1 million dollars was spent in the first 24 hours on legalized Pot.
Do we think that people want cannabis to be legalized, do people think we should be allowed to buy 'pot' from shops, yep I think we can safely say if this past week has shown anything, that everyday people want to buy pot.
Although it has to be pointed out that in all photos, videos and media shows there appeared to be a huge population of men shopping and buying pot than women! I did not actually see a woman in the shops, I am sure there were some?
I can see it now, 'Honey can you pop out to the pot shop for me'
Alcohol companies are fearful for a drop in profits, and I think they should be! For the addictive personality swapping one addiction for another may well be the way forward.
As healthcare professionals we should consider how this might actually benefit our patients, the cost to lives, reduction in violent crimes, reduction in ER visits and all the other health care benefits we are lead to believe happens if you smoke cannabis.
There are many research projects out there, attempting to prove that cannabis is safe, that cannabis has many health properties.
According to one source there has never been an overdose of cannabis because you have to consume 20,000 to 40,000 times the amount of THC (short for Tetrahydrocannabinolin),which is present in a joint to be at the risk of dying.
Police worry that using cannabis increases the chances of moving onto harder drugs, but there are no scientific studies to date that support this claim. Police also worry that using cannabis will increase violent crimes, behavior and suicidal tendencies, again at this time there is no scientific study to confirm this belief.
In 2010, overdoses were responsible for 38,329 deaths. Sixty percent of those were related to prescription drugs. In the same year, a total 25,692 died of alcohol induced issues , including accidental poisoning and disease from dependent use.
Benefits to our patients include but are not limited to...
- Antiemetic for general patients
- Increased Appetite for the chronic sick and elderly patients
- Decreasing neuropathic pain, especially with MS patients
- Reduction of pressure within the eyes of glaucoma patients
- Some studies have shown reduction in tumors in cancer patients (although studies are not conclusive but we can expect a lot more studies in the future)
- Reduction of nausea in chemotherapy patients and increase of appetite
Side Effects
Short-term (one to two hours) effects on the cardiovascular system can include increased heart rate, dilation of blood vessels, and fluctuations in blood pressure
Short-term memory loss
Increase in psychosis (newer studies are disputing this)
Schizophrenia (newer studies are disputing this)
Drop of about 8% IQ in patients under 18, although starting after 18 does not appear to cause an IQ drop
Driving is impaired and studies in the UK say if you drive within 3 hours of smoking cannabis you are twice as likely of having an accident.
An interesting side note, shares in one cannabis growing company increased their share prices by 53% overnight!
Mar 31From lucy100 In Quality Improvement Specialist →
Majority of quality improvement jobs in health care can have many responsibilities that fall into specific categories, including but not limited to evaluation, analysis, training and education, regulatory and compliance responsibilities, and risk management. A quality improvement health care specialist would ideally be responsible for gathering and evaluating clinical data from the organization; analyzing data for patterns and trends in the delivery of healthcare; researching root causes for specific patient care trends; training and educating staff to promote good quality practices and ensure compliance with all applicable laws and regulations; working with leadership and staff to create policies and procedures to ensure good quality care and minimize harm to the patient; keeping up to date with all federal and state laws and regulations.
Quality improvement can be defined "as systematic, data-guided activities designed to bring about improvement in health care delivery in certain settings and particular situations".
A quality improvement strategy is defined as "any intervention aimed at reducing the quality gap for a group of patients represented by those encountered in routine practice".
Gaining a more in-depth understanding of the role that nurses play in quality improvement and the challenges nurses face can provide important insights about how hospitals can optimize resources to improve patient care quality.
Educational Requirements
- Registered Nursing License in State of
- 3-5 years clinical nursing experience
- BSN preferred
- Experience with NCQA, Medicaid and/or commercial regulatory requirements
- CPHQ- Certified Professional in Healthcare Quality (preferred)
Duties and Responsibilities
Participate in design and implementation of Quality Improvement projects for HMO patients.
Assumes project lead role and develops project plan identifying all aspects of the project including timeline's for each task. Assures timely collection, processing and reporting of data per project.
Collaborates with IT and Analytic staff to facilitate design and development of appropriate database tools and reports.
Serves as a proactive liaison to Medical Leadership to facilitate physician engagement in projects, timely completion and submission of QM projects and HEDIS data collection and development of interventions for improvement.
Investigate patient complaints/grievances received from patients, family and HMO's.
Conduct QI audits/surveys as a way to recognize and/or identify potential quality issues or trends.
Attend various interdepartmental meetings as the QI RN representative, to support the departments' requirements.
Improving health care quality and patient safety are currently high on the nations health agenda, a focus that will only intensify going forward. Patients are demanding better health care, and who can be placed better than the nurse to be the leader of quality.
In other countries, it is the expectation that all registered nurses are actively involved with improving quality initiatives through research, changes are made through the hard work of floor nurses who strive daily to improve quality outcomes.
We need to be given the recognition of being change agents, quality improvers and educators. Self identification of issues and problems should be the norm rather than the exception. We should be identifying areas of improvement, making plans of correction and auditing the plans are effective after they are implemented.
The stakes for US hospitals to demonstrate high quality is increasing; at the same time resources are becoming more and more limited. Therefore, hospitals will have to become more skillful and sophisticated in discerning and pursuing activities that substantively contribute to the achievement of their quality.
This evolution also will require increased sophistication by the hospitals to optimize available resources to carry out their work.
Nurses are at the forefront of improving quality care, although it is considered everyone's responsibility to improve quality of care. Nurses often find themselves in the unique position of being the change agent for any patient quality event, we have a high stake in the game and we need to cash in on all opportunities that could improve the quality of life for our patients.

Funny thread and I am happy it is not just me who stresses over the mistakes.
When I lived in the UK there was a show about visiting home nurses who delievered twins it was a joke.

Plus the placenta never ever gets stuck LOL infact no postnatal women ever has a placenta on TV.
How about shocking flat liners???

Thank you for sharing the article, through the darkness of the last 5 days this was a light to my sadness. The Brian I knew had a dry sense of humor and was always had a quick return. Generous to a fault, always smiling and had the most incredible inventive mind-his business accrue was amazing and he was always open to idea's and listened to any ideas you talked with him about. He loved his gadgets especially Apple products, you always knew he would have the latest that technology had to offer.
I want to share with you a funny story, In may some of the Allnurses team, Brian and my daughter went out on SEGWAY's. The guy who took us on the tour told us that somebody always falls off. We rode the SEGWAY'S for 90 mins and I had a couple of close calls but managed to stay on. It was so much fun and laughter-one of the highlights of my year. We completed the tour and returned to the tour office and i drove into a tiny wall outside the office and went flying off the SEGWAY falling hard to the ground. I remember lying there laughing (i wasn't hurt thank goodness) looking up to see Brian standing over me, saying "Can you do that again so I can video it'!! We all laughed so hard, and that is a memory I carry with me and smile

Wonderfully written, being a preceptor is not a game it is a serious responsibility where you help develop a RN who is one you want to look after you or a member of your family
You are not there to be a best friend, but you are there to support, mentor and teach
I imagine you have some successful New Grads who were under your wing
Feb 25
So you have decided to leave your current job, you've had enough of working hard, no teamwork, you don't like your boss, co-worker, management, the drive is too long, the acuity is too high, you never get a break and you hate bedside nursing. Yes there are numerous reasons why you want to leave and get a new job, I could go on for pages for the reasons nurses are leaving their job but this article is about how to manage yourself while you are working out your notice.
Whatever the reason I personally believe there is a way to give your notice in and leave gracefully. Don't shut the door behind you, leave it ajar. Trust me you just never know if you might need to go back, or how your reputation could follow you.
Do not let your work slide during your notice period, make sure you maintain your high standards and do not slack off. Hold your head high no matter what the circumstances are that caused you to leave your job in the first place. Remember you are still being paid to do your job, and it is no excuse to say 'it's not my problem, I'm leaving'
Employers will be contacted for references; most HR departments will only provide dates of employment and will not get involved with lengthy discussions, however they are allowed to answer No when asked if they would rehire. This one word speaks volumes, sometimes new employers will take their time obtaining references, so how you behave in your notice period could have a devastating effect.
Make sure you give the required amount of time as specified by HR, this can be anywhere from 2-4 weeks depending on your position. Inform your manager as soon as you can, so they can prepare for the inevitable. Schedules may need to be changed, they appreciate as much advanced notice as possible. Put your notice in writing, giving your last working day. Keep it simple and to the point, you do not have to give a reason for leaving.
If they allow you, sign on PRN which will let you keep that foot in the door!
No matter how much you hate your job, work your notice! you should not just walk out without working the required notice. People talk and talk follows, you would be surprised how small the HR community is within healthcare and heads up is often given. I often read on allnurses.com that RNs hate their job so much that they walk out without notice which is just not professional.
Do not under any circumstances 'bad mouth' your current employer, it is not tasteful and causes concerns that you do not have loyalty. It is suffice to say that it wasn't the job for you and you are moving on because you want new opportunities. Be professional at all times, I know you will want to run through the halls singing and shouting at the top of your voice about the news of your new job, but try some restraint.
Be positive during your notice period, the weeks will soon count down and before you know it you will be heading through the door for the last time. You have choices; you can either slam the door shut or gently pull the door to, allowing it to creep open if you need it.
Do not commit professional suicide by being miserable, and informing all and sundry how you have to wait for weeks before you can leave, be upbeat and cheerful. I cannot tell you how many people I have worked with who begrudge working their notice and let everybody know that they don't want to be there. There is often huge sigh of relief when they do go, which is a poor reflection on that person. Being resentful has such negative connotations especially with your co-workers who chose to stay
Think before you slam, your current position may be not what you want but you have a long career road in front of you, life tends to be full of twists and turns so you can never say never!

To clarify when doing your charting in the EMR regarding the normal day to day care of the patient you are looking after you should complete the documentation before the end of the shift. (remember check your facilities P&P to double check)
With this being said, BDP is to document as soon as you can in your shift. Normal practice is within one hour
If there is an unusual occurance you need to use the exact times that this occurance happened when you document.
If you give a medication late-you need to acknowledge that. Your hospital will have guidelines of how early or how late you can administer the patients medications, usually within the hour of the time. Some hospitals have tighter rules and it can be 30 mins either way. You will have to check.
Normally nurses are not out to commit fraud-fraud tends to be a concious decision.
Feb 16Quote from rnintwoHow old are your children? I am a long time nurse and have always had children, I agree it has not been easy over the years to manage both effectively but I have managed it both as a single parent and later on with a husband in the military.I dont realistically see being able to find quality child care to cover nights, weekends or holidays for a hospital job. It just isnt going to happen, especially for holidays.
As for salary, Im not sure where any of the previous posters live but here in NY, RNs that work in the hospitals start @ 80K, so I thought it was completely reasonable to expect 60K out of the hospital.
I respect that your children come first but you may need to compromise one or the other-nursing is a very difficult profession if you have no back up support or good child care. You cannot drop everything and run home especially if you have patients to take care of.

QUOTE=jdub6;8720120]Oh good, renal/dialysis is my weak spot for sure. I have tons of questions...trying to think of what I need to know the most...
1. Can you describe the dialysis procedure, what you do when the patient arrives (assume outpatient unless you don't know about that) until you send them off
This is a huge question, one that takes about 6 hours from start to finish-When a patient comes to treatment you would do vital signs, the RN would do head to toe assessment looking for signs of fluid overload, they would be weighed and the target amount of fluid calculated. Arm if fistula is used would be cleaned and needles inserted, pt's prescription would be dialed into the dialysis machine and then the lines would be connected and dialysis commenced. Pt should be monitored every 30 mins vital signs taken, access site visualized at all times. Once tx has finished the patient is disconnected from machine, needles are pulled, access is held until hemostasis occurs, then the sites are covered with either a bandaid or gauze. Pts vital signs and weight is taken and pt is discharged home.
2. What is ultrafiltration and why/for whom is it used?
Ultrafiltration is defined as controlled fluid removal by manipulation of hydrostatic pressure. Ultrafiltration in dialysis is the removal of sodium and water from the blood. Dialysis patients have ultrafiltration; some of the patients need more fluid removal than other patients.
3. How do you access an AVF? What type of needle do you need? Is there a difference between the venous and arterial access equipment? Are the venous/arterial access points all in the same place each time and if so what landmarks do you use? What are things that would be indications of problems, reasons not to use a fistula or to stop using it, etc.? What would you see in a fistula that is clotted? Any considerations for the first time you use a new fistula?
You access an AVF with fistula needles; there are different size needles used on average a 15 gauge needle is used. Needles have blue and red wings for venous and arterial identification. Where you place the needles depend on what method of cannulation is being used. Each treatment the AVF should be examined looking for signs of infection, feeling the AVF for thrill and listened to the AVF for the bruit. If there is no thrill or bruit the fistula should not be accessed as absence of these could indicate the fistula is clotted. Lots of considerations for first use of fistula-experience technician, one needle, size 17 gauge needle, lower blood flow rate.
4. What do you dialysis nurses consider to be the best/easiest form of access to use (which type of catheter, fistula, etc) and which type or protocol of dialysis is best and easiest for you and the pt?
The best access without question is the Fistula. I don't understand what you mean about protocol
5. When people refer to arterial and venous ports/needles for dialysis, and when we see what I think of as a typical dialysis cath with two lumens, usually one red cap and one blue, are those lumens or (or needles for a fistula) actually one in a vein and one in an artery? My impression is that fistulas are mixed arterial/venous blood. Honestly, I don't know exactly where the catheters end. Do the red and blue caps indicate arterial and venous, as in other parts of medicine? And, again, does the arterial port/line actually end in an artery, or a vein?
Catheters end in the heart. Red and Blue in dialysis indicate venous and arterial
6. Can you explain how you use the catheters i.e. do you flush them prior to access and if so with what, which port do the inbound and outbound/return lines go to? After use, how do you flush the lines?
There is a whole process for using catheters, and accessing catheters. Many steps are involved, what in particular do you want to know about accessing them although it may differ from company to company. In bound and outbound lines are really called venous and arterial lines. The venous side of the catheter attaches to the venous line and the arterial-to-arterial line. The arterial line takes the blood out of the body to the dialyzer (kidney) and the venous line returns the cleaner blood to the body. After use you flush the lines with Normal Saline

I have always said I do not want interventions if there is no hope for some incurable disease, but if it was an accident then I would at least want them to try.

i made this casserole years ago. the only thing different that i did was i left the bread slices whole and buttered them on both sides, and follwed the rest of the recipe. Instead of sausage, you can used crushed fried bacon (fresh, not from a jar) I took this to my Sunday School class and they flipped out and nevery stopped asking me to bring them more.

''...imbued with noble history...set in a dramatic and varied landscape...''
Take a beautiful Peak District National Park setting, just 3½ miles from Bakewell, add a historic hall (first recorded in the Domesday Book), and an ancient cluster of listed buildings converted to form superb holiday cottage accommodation....and the result is the captivating blend that is Harthill Hall. Nestling in 14 acres of grounds on an upland called Priest's Hill with excellent walking available from the doorstep, the properties have the use of an extensive range of leisure facilities including an indoor heated swimming pool, sauna, solarium and treatment rooms. Noble names have woven the threads of the hall's long history including Henry de Ferrers, the Cokaynes and the Harthills. Henry VIII is also believed to have stayed at the hall. It was here in 1259 that Sir Richard de Hartle was issued a Papal Bull by Pope Alexander II, allowing him to appoint his own chaplain. The chapel ceased its functions as a place of worship in 1546 and now takes the form of The Chapel and Hartle Cottage. The eight cottages are furnished with antiques and surround a medieval cobbled courtyard. They all retain a wealth of original features including thick stone walls, large oak beams, mullion windows and flagstone floors. Derbyshire's bustling market towns, villages, hills, dales and rivers offer majestic scenery, and a rich variety of customs. Boasting a varied and beautiful landscape, they offer a blend of heritage, history and family attractions. The beautiful market town of Bakewell (3½ miles) is situated on the River Wye, crossed by a 13th-century five-arched bridge which has coffee shops and restaurants. Within easy reach are Matlock, Hall Leys Park, Chesterfield, Alfreton and Buxton. National Trust properties and gardens nearby include Riley Graves, Longshaw, Mam Tor, South Peak, Dovedale, Hardwick Hall and Kedleston Hall. Close by are both Chatsworth House and Haddon Hall. Games room with free wireless internet connection (1gb per day per device). Golf and horse riding are available within 5 miles. Shop 3½ miles, pub 1 mile.
Living/dining room with slate floor, beams and galley-style kitchen with slate floor. Double bedroom with four-poster bed. Bathroom with over-bath shower and toilet.
Note: Henry's Haunt (RXX7) and Cokaynes (RXX9) are adjacent and may be booked as one to sleep 10+2.
SUPERB ADDITIONAL FACILITIESEach property at Harthill Hall has one hour of private use of the facilities per day booked on site

"Fine cottages and facilities – in a county of unspoilt landscapes, deep dales and winding rivers . . ."
This fine courtyard of old stone barns was part of a working farm, but has now been sensitively converted to offer sixteen beautifully furnished and well-equipped cottages. Boasting a wealth of original features, they enjoy shared use of a rich choice of leisure facilities, including a superb indoor heated swimming pool in an adjacent, purpose-designed building. With a shallow area for children, the pool has its own changing rooms and a sauna, and there is a separate games room within the pool building where wi-fi is available. Brackendale Spa is an independent facility offering luxurious treatments, which guests can book by contacting the spa directly. There are two conference/dining rooms to accommodate large groups, and a separate laundry room with automatic washing machine and tumble dryer. Close to the cottages are patio and barbecue areas. All set in 3 acres of shared grounds, offering a children's play area and plenty of space in which to relax.This is an ideal setting for a Peak District holiday. Knockerdown Farm is conveniently situated on the road between Ashbourne and Matlock, within walking distance of beautiful Carsington Water, a superb windsurfing and sailing centre, which has an area devoted to wildlife and nature conservancy. Throughout the year they have special fun days for children of all ages. At the water sports centre guests can hire (with tuition) kayaks, windsurfers, Canadian canoes and bicycles. Professional fly fishing is available to enable guests to try their hand at fishing this popular, well-stocked reservoir. Fine walking country is virtually on the doorstep, and the renowned Tissington and Middleton cycle trails are both close by (with bikes available to hire). The principal centres of the Derbyshire Dales are nearby - Wirksworth, the market town of Ashbourne, attractive Bakewell (of pudding fame) and Matlock: all are fascinating ancient towns. Matlock Bath (6 miles) is popular as an inland resort, standing on the River Derwent amid lovely scenery, and offering boating, angling, bowls, tennis and cricket. The young (and the young at heart) will enjoy a day out at the National Tramway Museum - where visitors may enjoy the fun experience of trams from around the world! Magnificent Chatsworth House (16 miles) boasts a famous collection of art treasures as well as beautiful gardens. Haddon Hall (13 miles) is England's most complete and authentic medieval house dating back to the 14th century. It is set in lovely countryside overlooking the River Wye, near Bakewell, which houses one of the National Park's information centres. One of Britain's premier theme parks, Alton Towers is within easy reach. It is set amongst appealing countryside close to the picturesque village of Alton and offers a fun-packed day out for all the family. There are several country inns within walking distance. Shop 5 miles, pub and restaurant 100 yards.

My tomatoes are turning brown on the bottom.
Hardiness Zone: 6b
By Cecil from Paducah, KY
This is probably blossom end rot. It occurs at the bottom of the tomato and sort of looks like a bruise that may or may not be indented somewhat. Crushed egg shells in the dirt will replace a calcium shortage which is frequently the cause. Also, too much water and/or fertilizer (indicated particularly if you have plants that are very tall but not bearing much fruit) can cause blossom end rot. Pick the affected fruit as soon as you notice the problem so the plant's energy is spent on healthy fruit instead. Usually only affects some of the fruit on a plant, and most often only the first fruits.

In which we recognise the benefit of the bill to society is inversely proportional to how beneficial the name of the bill suggests it is.
This is why a cap can be placed on recoverable fees and has in many parts of the world.
In short, a rich company hoping to scare off litigation by advertising a team of expensive lawyers or an extended litigation period would not be able to as those lawyers would recognise that they would only be able to share in a limited, small pot of cash.
While I am not an expert in the US legal system it seems like having the loser pay the legal bills might reduce some of this predatory litigation.
The question is, how much influence does the US electorate have over this kind of decision? People who rely on winning through bankruptcy are also the people who have the kind of money to lobby to maintain the current system.
A researcher has previously investigated controller-avatar interactions, specifically, if the player (this is video-games related) identifies with their avatar:
"Players do not automatically take on the role of characters/avatars. Playing as a character that is ostensibly "other" to you (in terms of gender, race, or sexuality) is not necessarily transgressive or perspective-altering. Playing as a character that is like you (in terms of demographic categories) does not necessarily engender identification."
"This calls into question both the educative benefits and the marketing benefits of playing as a main video game character that is a member of a marginalized group."
Limitations: Note that the sample for this paper did not involve what the researcher describes as "White male gamer", the researcher draws conclusions from a small sample. Also note that the paper does not seem to be peer reviewed.
Source: http://www.digra.org/wp-conten...
It's not *proof* of anything but it may suggest that VR interactions, like games, do not guarantee any identification between the subject and their avatar. In fact, it may be counter-productive; those who are asked to take part in the intervention/training may ask why it is that they're assumed to be racist.
While I am really only dipping my toe into R I decided to do some research on this question a while back.
I have used python for a number of scientific applications and was attempting to determine if I should use Rpy2 (http://rpy2.bitbucket.org/). It initially made sense to keep all of the data retrieval, formatting and analysis in a few python scripts. However, it seems that the design of the R language intrinsically accounts for the problem solving methodology: "R is designed to operate the way that problems are thought about." (http://www.burns-stat.com/documents/tutorials/why-use-the-r-language/)
I'll hand myself in as one of those disgusting monsters who tries to form an evidence-based opinion.
I'm trying my best to paint anyone who criticises an opinion given by a back person as a racist, a woman as misogynist or a trans person as... anti-trans?
I... I just need to learn to start treating people I don't know as victims who can't survive without my help, especially those who don't want it.
Twitter Launches Church Of We Don't Like Your Opinion So We're Going To Brand You A Troll Council to Help Put End To Hurt Feelings
In the same way we should stop calling terrorists "terrorists" and start calling them morons, we need to stop calling people virgins and start calling them sexually inept.
"In today's news, two morons blew themselves up for the promise of 72 sexually inept women."
Take all of the glory out of it.
Much of the spam I see is Paypal and Facebook. Shouldn't spam filters be image matching logos or looking for company names in an email and verifying the email came from a domain associated with that company?
From what I've saw of them this may be true of some people flying the GamerGate flag but there are people who are vociferously ethics only who don't like all of the identity politics crosstalk.
This is perhaps informative (unless one believes that the majority of the respondents are being disingenuous) http://gamepolitics.com/2015/0...
"I asked my first question, "What is GamerGate?" because that will be asked at the upcoming SPJ AirPlay discussion on August 15 and I wanted to compare answers."
"Their top-voted response explained, "GamerGate is a movement dedicated to fighting for ethics in (gaming) journalism and against censorship and the politicization of (gaming) media and games. It arose after several corruption scandals in the gaming media, attacks on the gamer identity and attempts by the gaming media and 'cultural critics' to force a political ideology down the throats of gamers.""
I guess that there is a chance that a much larger group of people (including international Gamergaters?) that agree with your analysis missed Brad Glasgow's questions but assuming this isn't the case the group consensus seems to be focused on ethics.
Ultimately I accept that people are drawn to the group for different reasons but I think it's reasonable, if one is going to generalise, to look at the majority opinion and use it as a basis of describing the group.
Archive link for those who prefer not to support the reprehensible Gawker: https://archive.is/PP7q2
IMHO Gawker is an absolutely vile clickbait machine that portrays itself as a progressive voice while selling outrage.
It undermines what I consider valid, socially responsible goals by trivialising most of them, generating needless conflict by labelling "bad" people and maintaining a ludicrous left-wing good, right-wing evil narrative. It produces propaganda and hatred for cash.
Nick Denton - the CEO of Gawker - has admitted that the company has a severe empathy problem and tried to relaunch it:
The problem with journalism is not that one needs an audience, the problem with journalism is that factual reporting is no longer the main goal. Truth is secondary to page-views. Nolan suggests that people are the problem because they won't pay for factual material, http://www.private-eye.co.uk/ demonstrates that one can successfully run a publication that focuses on the pursuit and publication of truth (with a healthy injection of humour).
TFA is an attempt to blame absolutely shitty "journalism" on the audience, what in fact is happening is that those of us who do care about quality journalism recognise Gawker for what it is and don't give it ad-revenue or page-impressions.

Emirates Will Become Men's Tennis Tour's Official Airline
Emirates, the world's biggest airline by international traffic, will become the official carrier of the men's tennis tour for the next five years, both parties said today.
The Dubai-based airline will also sponsor the ATP tennis rankings starting Jan. 1, the ATP World Tour said in a statement on its website today. The rankings are currently sponsored by South African Airways.
"We're delighted to welcome Emirates as the official airline of the ATP World Tour," Brad Drewett, ATP executive chairman and president, said in the statement. "It's fantastic news for men's professional tennis that a brand of Emirates' global stature has pledged their support to the ATP World Tour for the next five years."
Emirates sponsor several ATP World Tour Masters 1000 events and the U.S. Open Series and are also an official partner of the U.S. Open.
Today's announcement "is a perfect addition to our existing portfolio of global sports sponsorships," Emirates executive vice chairman Maurice Flanagan said in an e-mailed statement.

10 most fascinating countries
Report Abuse
Tough question. So far my favorites are Italy, Greece and The Netherlands.
Report Abuse
Costa Rica. The beauty and diversity of the country, and the warm, polite, friendly, gracious Costa Ricans. Oh, yes and the weather and the fruit is wonderful, too!
Report Abuse
Without a doubt the most fascinating country I've visited has been the Netherlands. I first went 30 years ago; most recently last year. In the interim the country has increased in size over 10%due to the creation of the province of Flevoland! Consider that over 80% of the country is "man-made" as the result of astute hydraulic engineering and astounding perserverance on the part of its stolid citizenry.
Report Abuse
Of course the USA is the most fascinating country in my opinion. We have something for everybody. Apart from the US then my next favorite is Canada, expecially the BC Rockies and Montreal. Next would be Mexico as I lived there and speak Spanish. It has many things to see and do and the people are very warm and hospitable. Other than that, I have no desire to venture anywhere else. Have seen much of the world and far prefer California to any other place.
Report Abuse
I LOVE Europe and have been to 75% of the western countries and several of the eastern countries. The USA is STILL my #1 choice of where to live. Nothing can match our freedom of speech, etc. However, I also love London, Paris, Prague, Salzburg, Brugges, Greece, Slovenia, and on and on. Almost every place I have visited is a place I could live.
Report Abuse
As much as I enjoy Europe, Mexico, and the U.S., the most fascinating country I have visited is China. There is so much ancient history and many world famous sites to visit, good food, a bustling economy, a changing society that is really intesting to experience, not too many English speakers or tourists to detract from the ambience, and some of the friendliest people I have ever met.
Other fascinating countries I have visited include Japan, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Germany, France, Mexico (the Mayan ruins in particular), and the mountain areas of Switzerland.
Report Abuse
Each county has its own beauty and fascination. I like each for different reasons. Africa for wild adventure, Italy is romantic, Australia is friendly and has a vast amount to see and do and no problem with tourist getting in your way, Japan and China are ancient and historical, Germany is scenic and fun, South America has charm, history and beauty, Western Canada has Lakes,Glaciers and awesome beauty and is a bargain to visit now, France has Paris,lots of wine,great food and is unique and the USA has all of the above and has someplace, just about everything I have seen in other countries and it is still a great bargain. Europeans are really starting to discover America in large numbers. Maybe we should also. The developing third world countries such as Poland, Hungary and Czech Republic are also interesting and have a culture that for me was a great learning experience.
Report Abuse
As a history buff, I find Germany most fascinating. The 20th century was shaped by events which happened there. The scenery, edifices, and people are most intriguing. Another is to visit and see the contrast: Czech Republic (Prague)and then to Hungary (Budapest)--from those who embraced capitalism to those who used the worst part of capitalism (until the last Hungarian election). Of course, US not included as is my home & I am biased pro.
Report Abuse
What a question! May I include Turkey? It has been the crossroads of western civilization for thousands of years -- Hittite, Greek, Roman, Byzantine, Seljuk, Ottoman -- and their legacies are all there for you to enjoy. Marvelous snow-capped peaks, fine beaches, vast plains. Great food. Wonderful buildings, palaces, fortresses, and monuments. But most of all, extremely friendly and helpful people.
Report Abuse
My favorite is Italy. There is so much to see, Rome, Venice, Sienna, are all great places, plus the people are wonderful.
I also liked Norway and Sweden for the scenery.
Report Abuse
Not my favorite country, but one of the most fascinating was Morocco--it's a curious blend of European and Arab--very nice people speak pidgin French, just like I do!! They are interested and accepting of Americans as no other Moslem countries are.
